ARE HICKORY NUTS AND BLACK WALNUTS SAFE FOR ECLECTUS PARROTS?
I have fed both these nuts to my Eclectus with no ill effects, but hickory nuts are really hard to crack and they are so small with such a small amount of nutmeat inside that your birds had better appreciate your efforts! And shelling black walnuts will stain your hands almost permanently! The meat of black walnuts is not toxic but other parts of the plant are. If you have dogs, do NOT let them eat the black walnut shells! They are poisonous to them.
